The Centre for Citizenship, Constitutional and Electoral Systems has filed a lawsuit at the Supreme Court, challenging the constitutionality of the removal process involving suspended Chief Justice Gertrude Torkonoo.

Chief Justice Torkonoo was suspended by President John Dramani Mahama on April 22, 2025, after a prima facie case was established against her.

The suspension followed petitions submitted by private citizen Daniel Ofori, senior police officer Ayamga Akolgo, and the civic advocacy group Shining Stars of Ghana.

In its writ, the civil society group is asking the Supreme Court to declare that the President’s response to the petitions was unconstitutional, arguing that the procedure violated key provisions of the 1992 Constitution, including Articles 17(1)–(3), 23, 296, and 146(1)–(4) and (6).

The group contends that the process lacked due process, failed to uphold fairness and non-discrimination, and did not adhere to lawful administrative conduct.

Meanwhile, a five-member committee set up by President Mahama to investigate the petitions is expected to begin hearings today, May 15, 2025.

The committee, chaired by Supreme Court Justice Gabriel Scott Pwamang, was constituted under Article 146(6) of the Constitution, following consultations with the Council of State.
